Mint Quick Edit | Inflation: In RBI’s control at last?

In January 2025, inflation was almost 4.3%. Policymakers at RBI would be heaving a sigh of relief, as the drop seems to validate their decision to cut interest rates last month in anticipation of a price cool-off. With concerns of economic growth having mounted, RBI’s next decision due in April could confirm a pivot away from inflation control to a growth-supportive monetary policy. Also Read: Union Budget 2025: Govt dials up consumption and walks the fiscal talk Fiscal policy has attempted to do its bit, with the Union budget unveiling tax cuts to stimulate demand. If inflation stays modest, as expected—RBI sees it averaging 4.2% in 2025-26—we can look forward to cheaper credit.
